Jan, Dave, Leslie, and Eric,
So sorry to hear of your loss. Someone said: “The death of a mother is the first sorrow wept without her." My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Jan, just remember, as long as you have friends - you have family! Some you might not want to claim.) If there is anything I can do please feel free to ask. Love ya! Bonny
